TIME: A new study, to be published in a forthcoming issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that using diet soda as a mixer can dramatically increase breath-alcohol content (BAC) without increasing your awareness of being impaired. The study, which compared Smirnoff Red Label plus Squirt (a lemon-lime soda with no caffeine) with the vodka with Diet Squirt, found that the diet cocktail increased BAC by 18%. That’s almost as much as having an additional standard drink and was enough to tip people from being under the legal limit for driving to being unsafe to drive.

OK kids? So crack open a can of Diet Coke and stop cramming vodka soaked tampons up your ass or funneling beers through your sphincter!

Vaportini.com: The Vaportini is legal to sell in all states for any establishment with a “Consumption on Premise” license. The alcohol consumed through a Vaportini will be detected by a blood alcohol test. Because of the revolutionary nature of the Vaportini’s approach to the consumption of alcohol, it can be intimidating. However, it is simple, natural and enjoyable. About 5 minutes after the vessel containing the spirits is placed on the base, it is ready to consume. The recommended amount of spirits is 1 ounce. One inhales through the straw and holds their breathe for a moment and then exhales. That’s it. The effects are felt immediately because the alcohol is going directly through the bloodstream. Most people experience a relaxed and mellow feeling. Depending on how aggressively a Vaportini is consumed, it is still “active” for 20-40 minutes. There will be liquid left in the vessel after the Vaportini is exhausted, but that is merely the water in the liquor. The effects don’t last as long as traditional consumption, but that can certainly be a positive aspect.

Well I’m sure the women over at MADD are pumped about this one. How long do you think it will take before a couple of college kids create a 6 foot Vaportini and everyone at the party looks like Jonestown shortly after? Don’t get me wrong, I want one of these just to say I have one but the fact that you can take 5 rips of this thing and be drunker than this chick, means this thing is trouble city. I mean if you got kids ramming vodka covered tampons up their ass along with beer funnels, what kind of damage do you think they will do with one of these when all you have to do is inhale some grain alcohol vapor???
